Background:
The development of a standard motion capture system is needed since the measurement of temporomandibular disorders is time-consuming and costly using laboratory tools.
Objective:
The current study aimed to investigate the mandibular kinematic variables using a regular mobile phone and the motion analysis system.
Material And Methods:
In this quasi-laboratory and comparative study, ten healthy individuals participated, and three mobile cameras, nine red markers, and Kinovea software were also used to investigate the mandibular kinematic variables. Nine light reflective markers were used to check the sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability of the proposed system. The motion was analyzed using seven motion analysis infrared cameras and Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) software. Two other raters analyzed the kinematic variables obtained from the mobile to measure intra- and inter-rater reliability.
Results:
Pearson's correlation coefficient was obtained at 0.98, 0.75, 0.98, and 0.96, showing a high correlation. The accuracy and reliability validation tests showed an average error and an accuracy of 0.156 mm and 95%, respectively, with a mobile phone. The Intra Class Correlation coefficient showed a high internal correlation in the mentioned confidence interval (0.98 and 0.81, and 0.96 and 0.97). The intraclass correlation coefficient method also showed 97% inter-raster reliability.
Conclusion:
Mobile phones as a new system can evaluate the kinematic variables of mandibular disorders with appropriate accuracy and reliability.

Force Classification
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...

However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it instrumental in...
